Hi, I'm Darren Marler, host of the Weird Darkness podcast. I'd like to talk to you about

something that's very near and dear to my heart, my career. We've had a great run with

weird darkness, and this October we'll celebrate 10 years doing this show. Ten years.

We've had great reviews, a great response from amazing listeners like you.

But unfortunately, now, we're not as well known as we could be.

What that means is that I won't be able to win meaningless and irrelevant podcast awards. I won't be

able to humble brag on newly acquired accolades and magazine article interviews. I won't reach

one million subscribers. And who wants to live in a world like that? Did you know that for the

price of a single bag of weird dark roast coffee and a weird

darkness mug, or the price of clothing yourself with a weird darkness t-shirt or

hoodie, that you can help me buy 0.01% of an ad on Google?

It's true, and it's just that easy. Share the podcast. Get involved. Your small

act of sharing with only 10, 20, or even 50,000 friends and loved ones can bring this

podcast to literally tens of people. Isn't that what's most important in this world? Get involved.

Share the podcast with others. Use your social media, email, and text to promote each and every

episode I release. Further the cause.

Help weird darkness reach more listeners.

And help make me less obscure.

Thank you.

Hey, is that good?

Yeah, I tried to fake sounding sincere as best I could.

I don't think this is going to work, though.
